Resumen de Transformation or end of categories?
The article shows that the present social and economic transformations have modified, alt-hough in different ways and degrees, the main categories of labour law. The legislative evolu-tion has been greatly reduced the role of subordination in determining the regulations of work, due to the extension of many legal protections typical of subordinate work to various kinds of activities with mixed traits of autonomy and dependance and even to self-employment. The category of collective interests has been altered first by the fragmentation of works and by the differentiation of working conditions, then by the individualisation of social and personal rela-tions. This transformation requires that collective bargaining finds new instruments able to reconcile individual expectations with the collective interests of the groups and of the organisa-tions. The recognition of collective bargaining in the public sector has modernised many traits (not all) of public employment and activated a process of mutual adaptation and osmosis. Pri-vate welfare has adopted some rules of functioning common to those of public social security, while maintaining different forms of financing.
